Molecular Immunotechnology
WHO-sponsored Filarial Genome project
Immunotechnology group is currently working on delineating the immunological mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of human lymphatic filariasis, a parasitic disease caused by the nematode parasites Wuchreria bancrofti and Brugia malayi affecting the developing countries including India.
Stem Cell Technology
STEMCELL Technologies develops cell culture media, cell separation systems for life sciences research.
Bioprocess Technology and Automation
Production and Purification of r-DNA under different metabolic control system.
Protein Engineering
Protein engineering is the process of developing useful or valuable proteins. It is a young discipline, with much research taking place into the understanding of protein folding and recognition for protein design principles.
Genomics and Proteomics
Such genes are said to be silent or “switched off.” Thus, each cell, despite having the same genome, utilizes a different complement of expressed mRNAs, or “transcriptome.” Like genomics, proteomics aims to study the entire repertoire of proteins within an organism.


The MALDI-7090 is a state of the art, high-resolution MALDI-TOF/TOF mass-spectrometer and one of the latest in the field of MALDI-TOF mass-spectrometry. The instrument is primarily focused on protein characterization and proteomics. Mascot search engine is used for database searching. Additionally, targeted analysis of other biomolecules is also done. Users are requested to follow the sample submission instructions and provide the necessary details.
Bioenergy and Green Technology
Bioenergy technology—or projects that can convert the world's waste into energy—is a critical piece to solving these challenges. Lockheed Martin, one of the few companies on the forefront of bioenergy advancements.
Environmental Biotechnology
Environmental biotechnology is biotechnology that is applied to and used to study the natural environment. Environmental biotechnology could also imply that one try to harness biological process for commercial uses and exploitation.
Computational Biology
Computational biology involves the development and application of data-analytical and theoretical methods, mathematical modeling and computational simulation techniques to the study of biological, behavioral, and social systems.
Tissue Culture and Drug Discovery
The focus of current research has been in the direction of understanding the mechanisms of pathogenesis in two major tropical infections. In addition, my interest has also been in the interplay between traditional medicine and the modern tools of biotechnology, aimed towards the development of new drugs for the treatment of diabetes and cancer.
Chemical Biology
Chemical biology is a scientific discipline spanning the fields of chemistry and biology. The discipline involves the application of chemical techniques, analysis, and often small molecules produced through synthetic chemistry, to the study and manipulation of biological systems.
Metabolic Disorders
Inherited metabolic disorders are one cause of metabolic disorders, and occur when a defective gene causes an enzyme deficiency. These diseases, of which there are many subtypes, are known as inborn errors of metabolism.
Metabolic Engineering and Bioprocess Engineering
In metabolic engineering, the main objective is the increase of a target metabolite production through genetic engineering. However, genetic manipulations usually result in lower productivity due to growth impairment.
Genetic Engineering and Molecular Biology
Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering dispense recent study and innovation of significant methods and techniques involved in molecular biology and relevant areas.
Food Process Technology
Food processing is the transformation of raw ingredients, by physical or chemical means into food, or of food into other forms. Food processing combines raw food ingredients to produce marketable food products that can be easily prepared and served by the consumer.
